stigmata

Stigmata is a phenomenon when the wounds of Jesus Christ supposedly mystically appear on person's body. Their appearance can sometimes be predicted by proximity of religious feastdays, Communion or similar events. As they can be easily caused intentionally, Roman Catholic Church has officially approved only a minority of stigmata as genuinely mystical experiences. The first and most famous stigmatist is St. Francis of Assisi.
